WHO WE ARE.

TABULARASA IS A GLOBAL COMMUNITY OF ARTISTS, PERFORMERS, PRODUCERS, MUSICIANS, DESIGNERS & VISIONARIES DEDICATED TO CREATING SPACES OF FREEDOM, CONNECTION & ARTISTIC COLLABORATIONS.

Headquartered in Sydney and active worldwide, we bring people together through multi-sensory experiences that merge art, music and performance into powerful expressions of unity and belonging. We exist to showcase creators of cultural significance and to connect people through art by blending disciplines, generations and perspectives to shape moments that inspire and transform.

Our collective is a living mosaic of multicultural, multi-lingual and multi-generational people from across the globe who share a passion for creativity, community and collaboration. Driven by purpose, not profit, we celebrate art as a universal language and a force for connection and collective imagination.

WHAT WE DO.

OUR COMMUNITY IS OUR WAY OF LIFE. EVERYTHING WE CREATE GROWS FROM THE RELATIONSHIPS, EXPERIENCES AND CREATIVE ENERGY WE SHARE.

Through art, we invite people into deep, multi-sensory experiences that can’t be found anywhere else. We aim to create moments that awaken emotion and presence. Our work spans sound, performance, installation and design, merging these mediums into environments that celebrate the beauty of this world.

We aim to give people access to something rare: genuine connection through art. Whether it’s a dance floor under the stars, a cabaret unfolding by the sea or an installation that shifts how you see space and sound, everything we create exists to remind us of the beauty of this world and of each other.

OUR ETHOS.

WE SEE CREATIVITY AS A COLLECTIVE ACT AND A SOCIAL PRACTICE. WE STRIVE TO MODEL THE KIND OF WORLD WE WISH TO LIVE IN: COLLABORATIVE, CONSCIOUS AND FREE.

Everything we create is guided by our core principles of community, inclusivity, sustainability and freedom of expression.

We prioritise upcycling and repurposing materials across our productions, minimising waste and environmental impact. We work with natural materials whenever possible and encourage our community to adopt sustainable practices — from avoiding single-use plastics to embracing leave no trace principles.

We believe that art holds the power to shift perception and foster unity. Our events are invitations to dissolve barriers whether they are cultural, social or personal, returning to a tabula rasa: a blank slate from which to connect, imagine and create together.
